Palestino form and stats

4 victories, 3 draws and 3 defeats. That’s what Palestino have to build on here at Estadio Municipal de La Cisterna in the Primera Division.

Palestino manager I. Basay Hatibovic and his team return home after a 1-1 draw away versus Antofagasta (placed 5th) in the Primera Division. Preceding that match was a defeat to La Serena (1-3).

A painful moment in the game against Antofagasta was the missed penalty kick from A. Farías in the 17th minute. A goal there would obviously have changed the match and probably the outcome.

The Palestino fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 13 in 10 matches. Palestino have conceded 13 in these home matches. It's worth mentioning that 8 of these goals has been conceded in their last 3 home matches.

As you can tell from the results above, Calera was very dominant against Everton, winning the match with a scoreline that even the finest fortune teller couldn't predict. 6-2 (!) with J. Leiva, Y. Andía, G. Castellani (2), A. Vilches and F. Cordero providing the goals.

A quick return to home after this game, as Unión La Calera are hosting O'Higgins in the Primera Division only four days away.
